President Javier Milei will travel to Israel this month to participate in the Independence Day celebrations and will be one of the main protagonists of the central ceremony: he will light one of the commemorative torches, an honor reserved for distinguished international figures. The event will take place at Mount Herzl during the celebration of the 78th anniversary of the State of Israel. According to the Argentine News Agency, the Argentine president will make his third official visit to the country in April, with an agenda scheduled for April 19-22, aimed at consolidating political and strategic ties with Israel. Milei's selection to light the torch was confirmed by Israeli authorities, who highlighted his firm support for the country and his stance in defense of Israel on the international stage. The Israeli ambassador to Argentina stated that the president was chosen 'for being on the right side of history,' referring to his geopolitical positioning. This gesture reinforces the alignment of the Argentine government with Israel, which has already been expressed in various diplomatic decisions and public statements from the president, who has defined Israel as one of the main allies of the Hebrew state.
